What to look out for in world football this weekend‏

1. Van Persie to get guard of honour during Arsenal return

After watching Robin van Persie clinch the Premier League title with Manchester United on Monday, Arsenal fans may not be relishing the prospect of seeing the Dutchman get a guard of honour upon his return to the Emirates Stadium this Sunday.

Despite being 21 points behind the newly crowned champions, Arsene Wenger's side still have a Champions League place to fight over with Chelsea and Tottenham, and a victory for Arsenal, who have won all but one of their last seven games, will ensure the pressure remains on their rivals.

Elsewhere in the top-four race, Tottenham travel to Wigan on Saturday, while Chelsea, who narrowly beat Basel on Thursday, host Swansea on Sunday.

At the bottom of the table, if QPR and Reading both suffer defeats, their relegation to the Championship will be officially confirmed.
